The Kingfish Company announced that it has received the US Army Corps of Engineers permit, which is the federal permit required for the new facility in Jonesport, Maine. This news follows the approval of key permits from the State of Maine Department of Environmental Protection (MDEP) and critical water-side permits in 2021. Kingfish Maine is in the last phases of design, and contractor bidding selection is underway.

Upon completion, the facility in Jonesport, Maine, will serve as Kingfish's first production facility in the U.S. as the company looks to replicate its successful operation in Europe and establish significant local sustainable seafood production for U.S. retailers and food service.
